The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Exploring a broken world with time-bending combat and puzzles, this game feels like a tense, atmospheric journey through a scarred reality.

What players say

Players praise the gorgeous graphics and the creative weather-changing puzzles, but many find the gameplay underdeveloped, the combat atrocious, and the experience too short at around 2.5 hours. Some also report bugs and janky physics, while others note it feels more like a tech demo than a complete game.
